OER as Assessment: Open Pedagogy in a Theatre History Course

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The following chapter serves as an example for how to combine assessment and Open Educational Practices (OEP), alongside evidence that doing so can improve both learning and teaching experiences. When I made the decision to utilize Open Educational Resources (OER) in my theatre history course (THEA 230), I also created a new culminating assessment. The products of this assessment became openly accessible materials that were added to the OER for THEA 230. This chapter includes a brief description of the course context and the impetus for the adoption of OER. I provide an overview of how I developed this new assignment, which has its foundations in research about Open Pedagogy and the principles of authentic and transparent assessment. Details of the assessment as well as examples of student work are also included.
